Hello from England!

[katrid]

Hello everyone! For starters, I am a total NEWB to these forums and I look forward to learning as much as I can!

I grew up in Central Florida and was in the Gulf pretty much daily! Since I was a little girl I have always tried to build up my ability to hold my breath for as long as I can underwater...imagine my surprise when I actually find out that its called free diving! :duh
I am no pro... that's for sure, but I have recently discovered the wonder that is the monofin, of course, after I quit my job to become a full time art student! So I am desperately saving my pennies to buy one of these lovely creations! In the meantime I am doing my research to decide on which one to bring home, and I stumble across this website!:inlove
I look forward to one day posting pics of myself free diving with my monofin!! I'm also looking into scuba lessons in the not-too-distant future! This website (and all of you awesome members) will be a great wealth of information for my hungry brain!

It's awesome to be here!

Hi Katie!

I just joined myself and am also a complete newbie. You will love the people here - they are so helpful.

Thanks Kilka! I am loving what I have found so far! I am going all girly-crush on these pro-monofin recommended brands list in the beginner's section! GUUUUUUUHHHHH I will sell my computer for a Glide-fin! *drools uncontrollably*

Thanks for the welcome!!!

Hi Girls, welcome to db, have fun looking around but just ask for anything specific.
We have some (most) of the worlds top freedivers & mono fin users, most of whom would be very happy to help you.

Welcome from Belize. You must miss the warm, sunny weather of FL being there in England. Don't forget....the sun still does shine.

@agbiv: Thanks so much!

@foxfish: Thank you! I had no idea these forums were going to be this in-depth (pardon the pun). I have been watching the vids on the DB Youtube channel as well! I'm addicted!

@Trelawney: Thank you!!!

@hank: Thanks! And yes, to be honest, I am turning into a basket case from being away from the ocean for so long! I'm just a mouse click away from buying a plane ticket back home to Tampa!

@Saleh: Thank you so much!!!
